Knowing My Migraine Symptoms Made Me Panic Less 😯

Early on in my migraine journey, I would get panic attacks not knowing what was happening to me. Since then I have realized that headaches and migraines are SO different & also that all migraines can be so unique.

Some people experience mostly a lot of pain while others experience extreme visual disturbances. Mine were a combination of both, but I had no idea in the beginning.

My Main Symptoms Were:

1. Visual Disturbances (everything started closing in on me and getting super pixilated)

2. One-sided Head Pain (only my left side seemed to be affected which threw me off in the beginning)

3. Extreme Light Sensitivity (if there was a light on anywhere in the house my brain knew it and would feel even worse somehow)

Being able to do research and pinpoint that my symptoms were migraines and not a bigger more scary issue really relieved a lot of the panic I was experiencing, because I knew what to do FINALLY!

I hope knowing these symptoms can help you in some way.
